Analysis of BLACK
Black is a color I understand
I understand the darkness
I’m a victim to it yeah
My heart is red
My souls is black
My skin is white
Housing for the dark side
Black is a color I understand
Black are my clothes
The bandana on my neck
Black docs
red laces
Shocked community
scared faces
I hear that punks not dead ☠️
Blacks a color I understand
Black is a color just like red
I just relate to the darkness
Fade to black, fade to black
Can’t get those voices out my head
I’m a victim to it yeah, yeah, yeah
Black is a color I understand
Black are my pupils when they get big
Seeing things I know aren’t there
Hallucinations viewed I sware
black eyes
Black hawk down again
Black is a color I understand
